The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD32X200 is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.
The AirTAC MBLD32X200 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder delivering 346 N of equal force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. Because a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side, ensuring perfectly balanced thrust and speed for a 200 mm stroke. This riveted rolling-packed body uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-travel impacts and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
This configuration uses a default PT tapered port (G1/8) and lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG position sensors. The twin-rod architecture provides inherent anti-rotation resistance, allowing you to mount a workpiece on the front rod and a position flag or cam on the rear rod. Remember that overall length equals A plus 2 x stroke, so you must leave physical clearance at the back for the protruding rod.

A rod on both piston faces makes the annulus area equal, so extend and retract force (and speed) are the same. Actual usable force is lower due to friction.

Drives a circular blade on the front rod while the rear rod protrudes to trigger a mechanical limit flag, utilizing the 346 N equal force for consistent cutting speed in both directions.
Grips and releases fabric selvage using twin rods that resist rotational twist, ensuring the 200 mm travel maintains precise alignment across the material web.
Presses electronic pins into housings with 484 N at 0.7 MPa, relying on the balanced double-rod piston to prevent binding during repetitive high-speed insertion.
For a 200 mm stroke requiring around 346 N both ways, this 32 mm bore is a solid mid-range choice. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the equal both-way force to 206 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more push, stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases the symmetric thrust to 528 N. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot brackets—there is no back-cover or SDB pivot option for this double-rod type.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, you cannot track rod position without adding external limit switches. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs impact but does not lock the load; without live air pressure, the rod will drift. At 200 mm, the stroke is well within the 500 mm maximum for this bore, but the 12 mm rod still requires external guidance to prevent side-load bending on long extensions. For high-mass cycling, consider the MBLCD variant which adds adjustable air cushions.
Quick checklist
Because the MBLD32X200 is a double-rod cylinder, the force is identical in both directions due to equal annulus areas. It outputs 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 484 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical 71 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (-S code), so it cannot host AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (electronic) switches. You would need the MBLD32X200S variant for internal position detection, or use the protruding rear rod to trigger an external flag sensor.
